The hongkong pools are a vast complex with swimming pools of all shapes and sizes. You can swim laps in the main pool, practice your dives in the diving pool or let the kids have fun in the two kid-friendly pools. The pool complex is also home to a fitness centre, sauna and steam baths. You can also eat and drink in the restaurant.
The pool was built as part of the redevelopment and expansion of Kowloon Park, completed in 1989 under sponsorship by the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club. It was designed by a joint venture between Derek Walker Associates of the United Kingdom and Simon Kwan and Associates of Hong Kong. It is the only public pool in Southern District. It was originally managed by the Urban Council, but when the council was disbanded in 2000, management of swimming pools shifted to the newly formed Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD).
It’s important to bring an Octupus card on your trip to Hong Kong. You can use this to access the MTR and to pay for your entrance fee at all the public pools, which require a fee on entry. It’s also useful to bring a towel, goggles, a lock for your locker and shampoo.
You should also bring a hat, sunscreen and bottled water with you. If you’re planning to swim in the sea, be sure to bring your passport with you and read the safety tips on HK government website before you head out into the water.
Swimming is an excellent way to get in shape and stay fit, but it’s important to be safe. Make sure you listen to the instructions of your lifeguard and follow all the rules. You should also check the weather forecast before heading out. The weather in Hong Kong is notoriously changeable, so be prepared for any conditions.
Dark liquidity concerns have resurfaced in Hong Kong, with the issue being raised at a meeting of the Legislative Council last week and widely discussed among market participants. However, the Securities and Futures Commission has stated that dark trading accounts for less than 1% of the overall stock market’s daily volume.
In the meantime, there are a number of steps being taken to ease restrictions on public places and leisure activities. The city is still urging the public to abide by social distancing and to be vaccinated against the virus. The government is also urging residents to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
